It looks like you have some SUVs in there- do you need that extra hauling space? If not, stick with smaller because you'll have easier parking.

Igor, your car matches your hat.

No Ford hate here. Our Mustang ran awesome forever until it threw the clutch after 200K+ miles. Having kids kind of killed the desire to keep a Mustang convertible around, especially since we'd be driving it next to nothing and yet still paying personal property tax on it, so we sold it off.

Our Jeep Cherokee also ran great for 100k+ miles- only ever had to change a battery out of it. Turning radius on that fucker was fantastic. It wasn't any of the fancy Grand Cherokees or bullshit like that, which I understand have way more issues. My sister also had a Wrangler for a long period of time too.

Our Chevy van was a piece of shit. I don't think we got more the 64K miles on it before we kicked it to the curb. That thing had electrical issues- like you'd be driving and the car would start up, but console and radio wouldn't activate. The power slide doors died but the alarm would keep going off until I pulled the fuse associated with it. The hydraulics for the lift gate went out and the dealership wanted $700 to replace and then they said that might not fix it; investigated and found they were simple hydraulics and nothing special (unlike what I was lead to believe by the dealership) and replaced them for like $40 myself. It also had its engine go out when it had maybe 60k miles on it; we had the engine rebuilt and it decided to die when we were starting a vacation south- died on the freeway at full speed near the N/S Carolina border. Luckily we coasted to a safe stop and a friendly trooper helped us out, because there wasn't shit for miles around that was open at that time. Fuck Chevy forever.

Our Honda CRV has been great. Nothing super fancy, decent turning radius, and compact enough to fit in a lot of spots.
